wallbreaker2.0 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 They were on a shelf right below the 3 3/4" Marvel action figures, I had trouble spotting them because I thought they would be hanging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Snagged 2 sets here in Ottawa. There was maybe 12 sets on the pegs. All the quality control blunders were present. Damn shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battlecat Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) If this means I can stop bugging Stateside members with requests for help, then it's good news for us all! Also: Heroic Age Box Set? So, more Spideys/Caps/Iron Mans I'm guessing? Edited May 7, 2010 by battlecat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimadman Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Maybe The Heroic Age will have the Steve Rogers Super Soldier costume in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Maybe The Heroic Age will have the Steve Rogers Super Soldier costume in it. my guess is the line up will be ------------------------------------ ironman(bleeding edge(is that what its called?) reborncap(unless they put him in the other set) and 2 people from the avengers academy or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Maybe Mockingbird and updated Hawkeye? Also if DST are tying the line into Heroic Age, having a Thing mate released without an updated FF suddenly makes a lot more sense... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Cap and Iron Man are shoe-ins for this set. Other possibilities.... - Secret Avengers Beast - New Avengers/Thunderbolts Luke Cage - Hank Pym as Wasp - Tigra - Justice - Modern Hawkeye (new series) - Modern Mockingbird (new series) - Gorilla-Man (oddly present in print ads) I pray there's no Spidey or Wolverine in this set since at least with Cap and Iron Man these are all-new looks. If I had to choose, I'd go with Tigra and Luke Cage to round this set out. Beast has seen a lot of new 'Mates in the last year as has Hank Pym. The last attempt at Luke Cage was pretty sad and this would be a great time to slip Tigra into the mix. Plus, she and Cage would not be likely to require extensive new sculpted pieces to make a convincing 'Mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 It's another boxset based on a current comic storyline. That's gotta be a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Great news. Hopefully TRU Canada will get up to speed with it's american counterpart. Hear that Turtle and Lobsterman? You 2 may be free from me soon enough. Not yet, but soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyd Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I love how the announcement of a potential new box set seems tame in a week where we've already seen a new wave, a new box set and new IM2 exclusives announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nessex Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 hopefully this proves profitable enough for TRU & DST to make more international TRU's look at getting Mini's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastmaximal Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I'd be fine with this as a Heroic Age set, with the new Steve Rogers instead of Bucky-Cap and a redone Astonishing X-Men Wolverine. Not sure what they can do to make Thor more different from his wave 33 version though. I'd also like a Young Allies box set eventually. Or whatever gets me a Rikki Barnes and Araña.

pickle Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Just a little tip for the Canadians. When TRU has flyers that read 25% (or the like) off all marvel action figures, this is not secluded to just hasbro toys. It will include the marvel minimates as well. So far anyway, if it changes, I will let you all know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Thanks for continuing to post all this info Pickle, much appreciated! Anyone know if there's a scheduled day of the week that Canadian TRUs get their new stock in, or is it all over the place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 Iron Man wave will be hitting stores sometime within the next couple weeks. Probably not the exclusive wave, but it will be awesome to see minimates in retail stores up here in the North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
